I'm 66 and in good health other than my weight. I had a r-n-y in 2000. Lost 125 pounds. Been at 220 for about. 12 years. Can I still have these procedures? I was told not after 60.

Answer: Surgery after weight loss Thank you so much for your questions. Yes there is nothing that would prevent you having a tummy tuck after a panniculectomy. However, if you are an appropriate candidate I would recommend just having the tummy tuck and avoiding an additional exposure to anesthesia if that is ultimately the surgery you want. There are no absolute age restrictions on surgery - your overall health and physiologic status is much more important.

Answer: Tummy tuck with panniculectomy Hello and thank you for your question . Typically , the panniculectomy and tummy tuck are performed at the same time. If you are healthy enough for the surgery it is much easier to have them combined then seperate.
